September 2, 2022 · 2 sources
Harley Benton published demo videos for three more pedals in its Double Pedal range, MusicRadar reported on 2 September 2022. The demos cover the Good Cop / Bad Cop overdrive, the Two Face tremolo / overdrive and the Tag Team overdrive1.
The report describes the range as "pairing effects in one handy unit"1. The demos were played by Harley Benton's demo guitarist Benedikt, who "explores their features," according to MusicRadar1. The same article also points to run-throughs of the Double Vision Chorus / Tremolo, the Sugar & Spice reverb and echo / chorus pedal and the Split Screen Reverb / Tremolo1.
Gearnews reported in July 2022 that the Double Pedal series launched with six pedals: Evil Twin, Duality, Double Vision, Twoface, Sugar & Spice and Double Jammer. It said both effects in each pedal "can be used simultaneously, individually and in any order"2. The two reports differ on the range: Gearnews listed six pedals at launch, while MusicRadar's September article names the Good Cop / Bad Cop, Tag Team and Split Screen, which do not appear in the Gearnews list12.
Gearnews gave these descriptions and prices for the pedals it listed2:
| Pedal | Effects | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Evil Twin | Analog overdrive and tube drive | 79 Euro |
| Duality | Reverb and delay | 99 Euro |
| Double Vision | Analog tremolo and chorus | 79 Euro |
| Twoface | Analog overdrive and tremolo | 79 Euro |
| Sugar & Spice | Digital reverb and delay/chorus, for acoustics | 99 Euro |
| Double Jammer | Drum machine and looper | 99 Euro |
Gearnews described the Evil Twin as having one side with "a wide dynamic range and an open, tube-like drive tone" and the other as Harley Benton's take on a "legendary Japanese green OD circuit"2. It said the Duality pairs three reverb modes (studio, church and plate) with three delay types and a delay time of 5 ms to 780 ms, and that the Double Jammer has 11 drum patterns, 121 drum beats and up to 30 minutes of looping2.
"we have the chance to hear previews of three others thanks to Harley Benton's demo guitarist extraordinaire Benedikt"
MusicRadar said it would be "reviewing more of them soon"1.
